CLASS RULES:

• Everyone must participate in the entire duration of the


lesson, and collaborate with other learners.
• Inform the teacher if part(s) of the lesson were not
grasped.
• Speak your mind, when necessary, but make sure to
allow others to also be heard. Show respect to each
other at all times.
• Inform the teacher for whatever unexpected events
that may arise during the class.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

 Explain the significance of the atmosphere in


sustaining life on earth.

 Identify and describe the five (5) layers of the


atmosphere; including its height, temperature,
and the gases present in each layer.
Activity 2: Stack It Up!

• Using their notes and available materials,


students will have to re-create their own layers of
the atmosphere. They can also label each layer
using a paper and a pen. Teacher will also
encourage students to be creative in their output.
Layers of the
Atmosphere
• The Earth's atmosphere is divided
into several distinct layers, each
with unique characteristics and
properties. Understanding the
composition and behavior of these
layers is crucial for various
scientific and practical applications,
such as weather forecasting, climate
research, and space exploration.

Conclusion
The Earth's atmosphere is a complex and dynamic system,
consisting of several distinct layers, each with unique
characteristics and properties. Understanding the layers of the
atmosphere and the factors that influence them is essential for a
wide range of scientific and practical applications, from weather
forecasting to space exploration.
